Have you heard of essential oils before? Most people have, but even then they aren’t exactly sure what an essential oil is.
An essential oil is a highly volatile aromatic compound found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, and other parts of a plant. The oil protects the plants against environmental threats and provide beneficial properties. They are highly concentrated when distilled for purity, potency, and efficiency. Historically, essential oils were used for food preparations, beauty treatments and health-care practices.
There are many different ways you can use essential oils – Aromatically, Topically or Internally. On the back of every bottle there is either a supplement label with ingredients, or just the ingredients. If the bottle has a supplement label, than it can be taken internally, like in your water, a capsule, or just under your tongue! All oils can be applied topically to your skin for many different reasons. Some people use the oils topically for skin irritations or imperfections, head tension, joint/muscle discomfort or even digestive problems. There is no age limit for use of oils – many people use the oils diluted down topically on babies, infants, and toddlers. Using the oils aromatically will allow the oil into the blood stream the quickest. That simply means taking the oil and inhaling through your nose, or diffusing it in a cold water diffuser throughout the day.
Why dōTERRA Essential oils? One phrase: CPTG – Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential oils. The oils are sourced from a global network of growers to ensure the most pure and efficacious essential oils. dōTERRA has the essential oils rigorously tested for standards of purity and potency by a third party tester. They are free of harmful contaminants, artificial ingredients, fillers, pesticides and herbicides. We are all about empowering solutions. We provide a natural form of health for the conscious individuals with a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. Few, if any, have undesirable side effects when used as directed, and ONE DROP is all that is needed to achieve a powerful benefit.
dōTERRA is HUGE on Cō-Impact Sourcing. Meaning we reach out to farmers from all over the world where the plant is naturally grown and the properties are the highest. We cultivate partnerships with artisans, small-scale growers, and distilleries and organize growers into cooperatives, create jobs and improve income. We establish stable pricing with a trustworthy, long-term buyer and empower growers, families, and communities in impoverished nations. Along with creating these relationships with the farmers, dōTERRA is big on giving back and humanitarian acts.
(This is the mission statement directly from dōTERRA’s website): The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to improving lives through partnering with organizations that offer hope to millions around the world. Healing Hands seeks to bring healing and hope to the world, for lives free of disease and poverty, and to ultimately empower impoverished communities with the tools needed to become self-reliant. 100% of all donations go directly to those receiving aid. When the earthquake hit in Napal dōTERRA had people in the area and on the ground to help provide any support and supplies people needed. Along with that, different Wellness Advocates from around the world raised and contributed $317,951.67, which dōTERRA was honored to match. Together our combined donation of $635,903.34 provided critical relief to thousands of people in Nepal who lost so very much.
The company is the best I’ve heard of, not just for essential oils, but because the founders are so wholesome. In my own opinion, dōTERRA is the most humble around. I know the products are exactly what they say they are because the founders use them for their own families. Since late 2012, when I joined with the company, I’ve had nothing but success using the products, success meeting so many new people and constantly learning! The people I’ve met, and the chances I’ve had to travel a bit more, is amazing! I love growing a home business with a company that is 100% what they say they are and proves it everyday. To have a founder of a multi-million dollar company know your name and follow you on Facebook and really connect with so many people, it’s incredible!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. My passion truly is helping others and teaching others that there is another way. You can feel empowered to help your family and feel like you know what to do when a crisis hits. Doctors are wonderful and have their place in the medical world, but they aren’t necessarily available 24/7 and don’t necessarily have all the tools – but YOU can. I encourage you to take the leap of faith and see just how incredible it is to have the knowledge and tools available at your hands whenever you need them.
